so i went to put in my new 6.5 on the WJ today and when i went to screw the new ones in, the speaker fit but i couldnt screw the speaker in because on the factory speaker they have like a square extender to reach the actual screw holes. anyone else have this problem? what did you do??:confused:

I drilled new mounting wholes. I think someone makes adapter for like 8 bucks.

Yeah, you can drill right into the door. I would use some sort of baffle or at the very least gasket tape, otherwise you'll encounter some rattle.

The wires are think because that's what connected to teh factory wiring. You'll have to snip those off and add butt connectors.
